point taken, to hell with it lol thanks

well I guess it will as it has no choice, but I am wondering if it is converted first I may get a better print? colour wise? yes / no /indifferent

I run Photoprint which is Flexi without all the cutting bells and whistles. Where can I change rgb photos to cmyk. I was pretty sure I had done it before but can't seem to find anywhere in my menus for it.

I am going to wait for the new version, I'm sure it will be a hit!!! Will it be a large one? I need a 54" one.

sorry I was not thinking clearly, I would use the vinyl zapper on that nasty premask. again be careful around the stripe

I have never hard of that brand of pre mask, where did you get it? I would almost say you may have to use a high pressure washer or you could try using a steamer but you will have to be very careful .around the striping . the mask could be old stock.

This is the same stuff I always use (general formulations) they make house brand digital for Fellers from what I hear. It is very similar to printing on Oracal 3650 except it doesn't have the grey blockout. I really like the stuff but this particular roll when it arrived I knew it was different...

that would be a great option as doing it manually in omega is very time consuming.

probably not and this particular roll of vinyl has a very thick backing paper and you can see that it just does not want to stay rolled up so when it is on the take up reel it probably is exerting more pressure than normal on the next overlap of graphics coming down the line. To much pressure...

The more I look at it I have to say that it must be a material dificiency a the problem occurs in about a 14" area along that entire width of the roll. Everything before it is fine and after. I am going after my supplier to compensate me and take back whats left of the roll and replace it with...

I have seen this occasionaly but not like this. I have found that in a lot of cases if using the take up reel (most of the time) that dark colours seem to get a modeled look later when I unroll them to work on them. In most cases it is not to bad and I figure that it is the paper winding up...

welcome from Canada

can you say crick cut? lol

I am not sure I want to take the risk in screwing up the machine to save a few dollars. I understand that Mimaki is shipping more and more ink units with very little time on them. I myself have 2 unopened blacks dated for april and I figure there is no way I will use them up by the end of may...

probably not over time. I'm sure the solvents in Windex or probably some industrial cleaner will slowly break down the pigment. I would just warn the customer that nothing but soap and water to be used to clean the glass.

I have printed on frost and it is a nice effect. The colours don't come out that opaque and have a pearlescent look (depends on the frost I guess) As far as laminating goes...I wouldn't. The one thing I have found with my printer (Mimaki) is that if you can leave a graphic to dry for a week or...

I have a black ink that expired feb and the printer always gave me the inklimit readout every day. Now it is march and the warning is gone and the printer is still using the cartridge. Do I have until the end of march?

interesting thread. I commented about a black cartridge that had expired feb 09. The printer every day had a read out of inklimit and did that all month. I went on holidays for 1 week feb 27 and as much as I tried I never used the cartridge up, it is now at 20%. I figured today when I went...

you would really have toknow the machines history and was it maintained properly. Maintenance is very important on these machines, and replacement heads are pricey.

sometimes a grit can build up on the head. Do proper maintenance using 99% isopropyl and the cleaning cloths Gerber supplies, and never touch the head with your fingers.
